David Cullinane: We will not know that until after we finish our hearing today. Perhaps we could have some discussion on that next week. We will then be clear about what we want to discuss with the Department and we can get as much information as necessary from it.

David Cullinane: In the context of a large Department, €1 million may be a small amount and may not be a deterrent. On enforcement, can the commission direct a Department to cease doing something?
